+ Transport helojets operate in the same manner in terms of mobility. They can
hover or fly at speeds slower than a normal jet. Thankfully, these babies come
equipped with dual photon cannons or dual chainguns that are capable of
attacking ground troops while flying in the air. These cannons also do minor
damage to opposing air targets. The main goal of this ship is to transport
troops so they can bail out in ejection pods. It also acts as a mobile spawn
point in Titan mode.
- Both of them are pretty much the same with exception to the weapons assigned
on them. One has chainguns, the other has photon cannons.
~ General Strategies ~
======================
- Board a transport helojet on an enemy titan, and people can now spawn on the
enemy titan via the mobile spawn point.
- Bunny hop from flag to flag in Conquest mode with a squad. Hover over a
target, let people bail out, get a capture, then let them jump back in. Wash
and repeat the technique.
~ Transport Techniques ~
========================
- The transport helojet is a tad more difficult to fly and use with ease.
A majority of players new to the BF series may find it difficult to fly.
I'll try to provide a few techniques here and there.
(a) Do NOT hold down S and land directly on the ground
= A major problem with the transport helojet is that when you press
S, it sucks in the air and actually accelerated DOWNWARD! This is
different from the normal helojet, which hovers when pressing S.
Because of this, never directly hold down S on a transport helojet and
try to land on something. You will come in too sharp and too fast
causing your ship to explode along with any passengers. Generally,
only if your ship has about 70 armor or more will it survive the fall,
and there are certainly no guarantees.
(b) Avoid bailing out of a filled transport helojet
= Once a helojet has been bailed out of, it immediately dives unlike in
BF2 where transport aircraft hovered for quite some time. There is no
warning light either when a pilot bails out, so almost all passengers
will get killed. Inform your passengers by yelling "Bail out!" in the
voice menu, then bail out. If you do bail out, try to ram something on
the ground (preferably a tank or mech) to assist your group troops.
